"Booking a place to stay on holidays has become a reflex action.
The first thing many of us do is open a site such as Wotif, Hotels.com or
trivago (all of which are these days owned by the US firm Expedia), or their
only big competitor, Booking.com from the Netherlands.
Checking what rooms are available – anywhere – is wonderfully easy, as is
booking, at what usually seems to be the lowest available price.
But Australia’s Assistant Competition Minister Andrew Leigh is concerned there
might be a reason the price seems to be the lowest available. It might be an
agreement not to compete, or the fear of reprisals against hotel owners who
offer better prices."
